itch.io

The game sold a million freaking copies. I get it "piracy" and everything, but these guys sold more copies of one game than most devs sell in their entire lifetimes. I don't want to have to buy this thing on Steam. You made your money, now give the folks at itch something other than a taste of it. They can either release the full game or delete this page.

So I have a problem here that I'd like to address, because I see it happening on itch all the time. This dev, like others, has a version of the demo here on itch which is a DRM-free platform for the most part with offline installers that don't require a client to play. However, now I am being forced to buy the full game on a DRM platform that requires a client to play. Why even put the game on itch.io if you're just going to exclusively lock it to Steam? Not everyone wants to use Steam to play their games. I hope that eventually the dev will actually sell the game on this platform instead of just providing a demo. 

I figured out a much easier way to do this for anyone who is having the same problem. The only thing I had to do was to replace the renpy folder from the game with a renpy folder from another game that worked. That was it.

Alright, will do!

I've got a major glitch. this only happens with the main executable, but sometimes the 32 bit is also affected. 

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I don't think this is his mentality at all. He's on the last chapter. It'll be coming to Steam, GOG and more than likely here too when it's ready. Book One was just the first few chapters of the game. The next ones will be delivered as Book Two. No one has abandoned anyhing, lol. He's just trying to finish the game first and then release.

Would love to see it on GOG as well! Thanks for supporting other platforms and congrats on a million sales!

Hey guys, what is the difference between the 1.02 itch version and the 1.1 Steam version? 

Check steam. It's marked as Book One. So the next part of the game will be Book Two. To talk to Philly just support the Patreon and you get access into their server. Then you can ask him about all that. 

COBD has been split into Book One and Two. Book One is on Steam. Book Two will come out when the game is done, so probably by the end of the year. Both will be on Steam and hopefully GOG as well. I dunno about itch, I hope he hasn't completely abandoned it, but I dunno. Philly is a cool guy, I've spoken to him several times in the discord. 

It might be, but the game is nearly complete. Philly is working on the final chapter. Maybe he'll have the whole thing up here when that's done. I know for sure it'll be on Steam and he's going to GOG with both parts too.

I wouldn't say that. GOG has everything from the smaller devs to the million dollar Subverse on there. As long as you have a game with a demo on Steam, you're fine. Remember, there are a few in development adult games there like Under Contract. 

Just go to GOG. Yes, there is a curation process. But they have accepted a lot of NSFW games and are even having a NSFW sale right now with hundreds of games! Jast USA and MangaGamer might also take some in as well as Fakku and others. 

Downloaded all the parts for 8.16. It's telling me the data file is corrupted and I don't know which file it is. It'd be better to throw it up in a Mega folder so that I wouldn't have to go through all this. What a hassle! 

I'm also curious about the GOG question. Is Season 2 going to be available? Seems odd to have half an adventure when both parts are completed. Instead of taking the risk, I just bought them both for $20. Can't wait to promote these and get more people interested.
